A Store for All of Your Guilty Pleasures

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

You know how you’ve secretly (or maybe not so secretly) always wanted a Ryan Gosling “Hey Girl” diary with Ryan’s face and “Hey Girl” lines on every page? Look no further than Silver Spider in the Old Capitol Mall in Iowa City.

Maybe you are more of a Chris Pratt or James McAvoy person, so you have a moral obligation to not own Gosling merchandise. Don’t worry! There are hundreds of other unique items at Silver Spider waiting to be discovered among the jam-packed shelves.

Maybe you’re looking for a new coloring book because you heard coloring is the new stress reliever, and you have 3 big tests coming up. Check out Silver Spider’s “Color Me Girl Crush” coloring book with images of iconic women to color, like Amy Poehler and Aubrey Plaza.

Maybe you have enough diaries and coloring books, but need some new threads, jewelry, kitchen items, gifts, etc. Silver Spider has everything you could possibly need from when you wake up in the morning and need a coffee mug to when you finish a hard day and need a comfy pajama top and a shot glass or extra large wine glass.  It’s all right; we’ve all had those days. Just head to the couch with your drink and Gosling diary or Girl Crush coloring book in hand and get ready to relax. Just remember that after that relaxing night, you have to take the advice from that shirt you got at Silver Spider.
